1½ cups cooked French lentils (French lentils will give a heartier texture. Regular lentils will create a texture more like a lentil spread) NOTE: celiac friends, make sure lentils are labeled gluten-free, rinsed and picked through. See comments about lentils and cross contamination above. Pro tip on cooking lentils: cook in water or a 50/50 mix of water and vegetable broth for extra flavor.
